cant i mount fixed drive with write access??

["P Kapat" <kap4lin@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have been banging my head for quite a few hours now. Can't I mount a
fixed (internal SATA) drive with write access as a normal user? Here
is the relevant line from fstab:

/dev/sdb1       /media/backup   ext3    user,noauto,rw        0       0

$ ls -l /media/backup
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 2007-10-12 03:12 /media/backup

$ mount /dev/sdb1
$ ls -l /media/backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-10-12 03:12 /media/backup

Why am I loosing the write access??
